F. Bradley, a well known Negro lawyer of this city and former assist- ent county prosecutor, for a position as paymaster for the Negro troops in the United States army. The move- ment headed by J.

ROLAND HAYES THE GREATEST TE In Conven FRIDAY, DEC For the Benefit of a R Soldiers at C FURTHER ANNOUNC The Paymaster Genera United States Army, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Very respectfully. TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR Topic: Seeking Worthwhile Things —Prov. 8:10-21. Matt. 6:33. G. A. Gregg, Conference President, Kansas and Nebraska. It should be the aim of everyone to seek the best. If it is companions seek the society of the best. Seek those who have the elements that your ambition for higher things crave. If it is speech seek the company of those whose language in chaste, pure and ennobling. Why are the aged looked to for counsel? Because during their long life their experiences and thoughts have blended so harmoniously that they are wise. They have wisdom. Seek the companionship of the aged. Their counsel will save the young from many a pitfall. Do not mistreat the old. It is not wise. We are all headed that way—age is just around the bend ready to greet the youngest. Have respect for the old. Is a good, strong, healthy body worth while? Then guard it. Men care for their automobiles that they may carry their bodies around. We should care for our bodies that they may carry our minds, our souls, until they develop for a better world. Do not polite the body—a most wonderful construction—for truly we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Not long ago it was our pleasure to hold in our hand a pitcher with all the emblems of a Mason lodge upon it. A pitcher one of two, that rested in the lodge room where George Washington sat as Master. We were cautioned above everything not to drop it. It had a remarkable history. Centuries were recorded behind it. If broken the link that binds the historic past with the present would be severed. Likewise our bodies should be dealt with carefully. They are the handiwork of God. They should be presented a "living sacrifice." Los Angeles, Cal. (Special to Advocate)—Mrs. Lelia W. Robinson and party of charming young ladies who are touring the West, were the guests of honor at a beautiful entertainment given by Miss Estelle Everette of this city, a prominent society girl and one of the cast of the Lincoln Motion Picture Co.'s "Law of Nature." Mrs. Robinson is the daughter of Madame C. J. Walker, and heirs to the vast holdings of the Walker Corporation. She has a most magnificent home and business establishment at 108 West 136th St., New York City $12.50 WONDER CLOTHES $12.50 The Wonder Clothes store at 524 Minnesota avenue, without a doubt can and are giving the people the greatest values in men's clothing than can be found in any store in the two cities. The big chain of stores they have from New York City to the Western Coast, with their own mammoth factory to supply them, is the one great reason they can sell $18 and $20 values at $12.50. No house can buy these same goods at wholesale for less and more than the Wonder people sell them. Mr. James Harrison, who was at one time a teacher in this city, departed this life Thursday, November 1, at the home of his brother-in-law near Bimber, Okla. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS NOVEMBER, 9-1917. NEGRO YOUTH UNDER $75,000 BOND Muskogee, Okla. Nov.-Z. E. James, a colored youth, 17 years old, who shot and wounded G. F. McIntyre, an auto tire dealer, was charged with assault with intent to kill. Judge Zick of the city court fixed his bond at $75,000. Young James is a son of one of Muskogee's wealthiest colored men. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE, OF COURSE OVER REACHED ITS REQUIRED QUOTA (By Mrs. M. C. Matthews.) The eight or ten clubs working in the small rally for a payment on their pipe organ, gave out a report of most of the money raised which was very good for these strenuous times and money being solicited for so many causes. Mrs. Hulsey, Missouri, reported $87 and Kansas reports over $74. This was a surprise to many as Missouri was said to have more working members than Kansas. Kansas, also, under Mrs. M. C. Matthews was the only state to receive recognition from the governors. Mrs. Matthews, herself, gave as the Bible says, her-widow's mite, $11.45 from her own money, not solicited. Then she solicited over $32 by herself, making over $44 secured by her without entertainments. She has more promised and Pastor Holmes told her to get it. Mrs. Thompson over Louisiana had $63.30. Mrs. Rrice over Kentucky had $55. Mrs. D. A. Holmes, over Iowa had $25.06. Mr. L. G. Oliver over Illinois, had $21. We are sorry we did not get Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas amounts, but the whole amount was over $378. At 11 a.m. the Holy Sacrament was administered by the pastor after many Christians had testified. The singing by the congregation was pathetic. At 7:45 p. m. Rev. James Webb, of Chicago, preached an inspiring sermon. His thought seemed to be that God has hardened the Kaiser's heart to make people of this world treat each other better and really show the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." He gave a lecture on the genealogy of Christ and Biblical fame of the "black face" on Friday night. Showing God as dark-skinned with hair like lamb's wool. Next Sunday, Nov. 11th, some noted minister will preach at both services if the pastor is not able. Come out and enjoy this church's good services. The rally was fine, for the pastor to be sick. The organ payment was not to be so great this time. Don't forget Women's Day at the Forum at Metropolitan Temple Sunday, Nov. 18th at 3 p. m. Hear Mrs. Mary F. Wood. BIBLE CLASS. There was a large attendance at the Neighborhood Bible class at Mr. and Mrs. Gardner's on Everett. Two rooms were needed to seat them. Mrs. B. Carroll gave the invocation and the 1st chapter of Philippians was discussed. Mrs. Matthews showed how the Apostle Paul exhorted the Philippians, also all Christian, to examine themselves that they may be free from hypocrisy, deceit, and do nothing to be a stumbling block for sinners. Mrs. Perkins praised the leader's views on the lesson, also other new members. Rev. and Mrs. Lawson and others came later. This class is for all denominations and Baptists, Methodists and members of the church. of God were present. Next meeting is at Mrs. B. Carroll's, 1322 North Eighth street. Lesson, Philippians 2-3 Chaps. Everybody come, Wednesday, November 15th, 7 p. m. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. The Y.-W. C. A. Bible class will begin Wednesday, November 14th, at the Y. W. C. A. rooms under the leadership of Mrs. Frances B. Watson. Hours. 7 to 8 p. m. We would like for all the women who possibly can to come out to the Red Cross meetings every Tuesday at the Y. W. C. A. rooms, corner Ninth and Nebraska. This is a great work, so let us all put our shoulder t the wheel and do our bit. This funeral of Mrs. Spriggs was held from the First Baptist church Monday at 2 p./m. Rev. Bowren of officiated. We sympathize with the relatives. Mr. Matthew W. Hall praised the Negro soldiers for their loyalty in the draft. It was in Tuesday's Kansas City Star. The many friends of S. H. Randolph, one of our well known railway clerks, are exceedingly glad to see him out after a severe attack of illness. Weren't some surprised at the Kansas club advancing toward the front By Mervin Harris. With this issue we resume this department of The Advocate which we discontinued after close of school last year. We will endeavor to make this department very attractive and helpful to the high school students and other who read it. This department is also for the purpose of giving to the general public an insight into the daily life of the school. To you who are students of Summer these notes will be just what you make them. If you take no interest in them, of course, they will be a failure. But if you show some interest in them by reporting some notes occasionally, then they cannot help but be a success. We are very sorry to lose Prof. Williams of the Science department, who came to us this year from the college at Jefferson City where he had taught for several years. But Uncle Sam thought he needed him more than we did so he sent for him to join the 12,000 colored soldiers at Camp Funston. Although Prof. Williams had been with us but a few weeks he had become well liked by most of his pupils. The orchestra under the direction of Prof. Reynolds is progressing splendidly. They now have twelve members. The Civics class of Prof. Buster favored the student body with a debate at the assembly Wednesday. The subject was "Resolved, That Municipal ownership of public utilities is better than private ownership." The affirmative side was supported by Miss Luvenda Davis, Miss Ethel Gordon and Miss Cecil. Carrol. The negative by Miss Eddie Lewis, Miss Thelma Kennedy and Mr. Alvin Riley. The negatives were victorious. Current Articles of Interest. An exceptionally interesting article to American History students is to be found in the November issue of the World Work magazine. The title of the article is, "The British-American Development of Democracy." An article on Why Sweden Has Remained Neutral in this war is to be found in the October New England Magazine. The title of the article is "The Inside of Sweden." From the Scientific American—A transportable army, bakery has been perfected that turns out 6,000 leaves of bread a day. Five men can operate it thus doing-the work that it would take 100 men to do under the old method. Los Angeles, Calif. (Special to Advocate.)—The Lincoln Motion Picture Co. of, this city and the leading Race Film Co. in the Nation has recently equipped three traveling Road Shows with complete outfit for showing their classy Photo-plays throughout the entire South.

Mrs. Yates, sister of Mrs. Adele Link has had contractors to start on her house to be built on Washington bulevard in the' popular block between Ninth and Tenth streets. IN MEMORIUM. Of course, this, the largest and most active civic and intellectual body of our race, did not fall to meet and as its president's motto is punctual, it began on time. Rev. Robinson led devotionals, and after President Buster Miss M. Browne, the secretary, read the minutes, the following program was rendered. Quotations, Current events, pianos solo, Mrs. Trotter, address, Mrs. Glivings, on Art and the Needs of a Building to Preserve Our Art. She also made a wonderful plea as to how we should behave ourselves in public, etc., so as to allow no excuse for us to be ostracized and segregated. She was loudly applauded. Mrs. Ida Lyons rendered a vocal solo and as she has a voice of great volume, 'she was enced but did not respond. A collection of $5 was taken up, while Miss Wattley rendered a beautiful dream piano selection. Then President Buster announced Mme. Sommers and Miss Sirpora Miller in their piano duet William *till*. As Mrs. Sommers is one of the best pianists in the U. S. You know the selection was played perfect. The technique was grand and 'twas so thrilling, some auditors almost imagined they were present at the secrea which happened in a European country. They were enced, but simply bowed in acquiescence. Prof. H. Dwlgigs acted as critic pro tem as Prof. Curry was compelled to leave before the close. 'Sunday, Nov. 11th, a program just as fine or finer will be rendered. Come where the most intelligent and all classes, who love the race most attend. It is the best place to learn things of interest to all races. It meets at Metropolitan Temple 4 p. m. to 6 p. m: MRS. M. C. MATTHEWS, Pub. Com We were pleased to see in last week's issue of the Tulsa Star the organization of Colored Home Guards. We congratulate Tulsa colored citizens in getting in the game as soon as they did, but they are just two months late to hold first place in being the first to organize as they stated. Kansas City, Kansas, organized two months ago and didn't stop at one company but a full battalion was sworn in with its own colored major and a finer looking battalion of soldiery looking men has not taken the train to any national camp. The Advocate gave a full account at the time of the battalion and its efficient officers. The editor being one of the promoters was among the first to enlist. The most of the officers have seen service under Uncle Sam. Attucks Home Guards of Kansas City, Kansas, sends greetings to Tulsa's beginners for home protection and country's defenders if necessary.

They stopped a few hours, the guests of Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Stephens, 830 Nebraska avenue, returning home in the evening. Mr. Frazier is in the garage business in his home city.

Ed Sims, well known colored resident of this city, was the principal speaker at the banquet. Rev. Mr. Horsey also spoke, delivering a sort of farewell and admonishing the boys to make a record of heroism for their race.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. JUDGE BRADLEY IN LINE FOR ARMY POSITION. I. F. Bradley, Sr. one of the West's old and great lawyers, is in line for one of the paymasters in the United States army. He has the backing from Governor Gardner of Missouri and Governor Capper of his own state of Kansas besides many strong men of his own race. Judge Bradley has been known to the public of all the middle west for over thirty years as one among its oldest lawyers. He has been honored with the office of city judge and also assistant prosecutor of Wyandotte county, of which both of these positions were filled with honor and credit. The Judge has legions of friends, both of the profession and civilians of all races, who would frankly said honestly say the army could not select any man more capable and better fitted for one of its paymasters than I. F. Bradley. SEGREGATION UNCONSTITUTIONAL AL. SAYS U. S. SUPREME COURT. The Louisville, Kentucky, congregation case which has been in the United States supreme court for many months for a decision as to its legality, was decided last week by these great jurists that such a law was unconstitutional. This decision showed that if a man had the right of way going in a direction on one side of the road, he should have that same right returning on the other side. A RECREATION FUND FOR NEGRO SOLDIERS. Round Hayes, known as the greatest tenor singer of the race, will be at Convention Hall, Friday, Dec. 7th. The proceeds will be for the benefit of a recreation fund for Negro soldiers at Camp Funston, Kansas. It seems, without any great effort on the part of the promoters of this most timely and much needed fund, Convention Hall ought to be packed. It's a cause of a most worthy kind and every loyal patriot should do his part for this occasion. Prol. G. A. Gregg, associate editor of The Advocate, delivered at Shilo Baptist church in Topeka on Wed?nesday night, to a large and appreciative audience, his famous lecture, "Don't Be a Quitter!" This lecture would be very appropriate and also on place for some of our weak-need, maln-hearted slackers. Miss Odessa Dixon of Memphis, Tenn., who for the past two years has made her home with Mrs. R. A. Adams, left on Tuesday for Washington, D. C. to enter Freedman Hospital to finish her course in curse training. Mrs. Polly Bradford, 633, Georgia avenue, fell and broke her arm. She is getting along nicely.

ITALY TO STAND OR FALL WITH CITY OF VENICE WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY IS SOUGHT AS PRIZE BY ENEMY. ONE MORE RIVER TO CROSS ITALIANS MASSING FORCÉS TO MAKE A STAND AGAINST INVADERS. London; Nov. 8.—Again Teutona and Italians are facing each other across a Venetian river—the Livenza, 10 miles to the west of the Tagliamento at her mouth and 25 at her middle course. Again Europe whisper of an "Italian Marne." The world's most beautiful city is to be but an incidental prize in the great clash compared to the larger destinies involved. But in military as well as political circles tonight the view was commonly expressed that with Venice Italy would stand or fall. Before Venice it would reach, however, there is another river, the Plave, running almost parallel with the Livenza, some 10 miles to the west. Thither, after a short delaying battle on the Livenza, Cadora and Von Below are expected to race within the next 48 hours. There Italy is expected to meet the final test. PUT DOWN VICE AT ARMY CAMPS WOMEN OF COUNCIL OF CLUBS TO HOLD MASS MEETING IN THIS CITY Plans to hold a monster mass meeting to discuss the vice question in and around army camps in Kansas will be formulated soon. It will be under the auspices of the Council of Clubs and will have as speakers the leading men of affairs in the country. Mayor Harry Mendenhall will be asked to preside. Governor Capper is to speak, Col. E. C. Little, congressman from this district, champion in the house of the "sober" bill, Julien Proskauer of the editorial staff of The Globe, and other men who are well up on the subject. The date of the meeting probably will be announced as soon as the committee hears from the speakers. At the meeting of the Council of Clubs yesterday the motion to give the earnest support of the entire body was passed and the president, Miss Lutie Jackson, as chairman, announced that she would appoint a working committee to have full charge of the affair. There is a crying need for the taking of the necessary steps to suppress the temptations that are around our "boys." They are willing to give up their lives but it is too much to ask them to give up their health. And it is their health that will be sacrificed unless radical steps are immediately taken. Wars and means of all feasible methods will be taken up and it is believed by all interested that some conclusion will be arrived at. IN DEEP TEST WELL Dr. C. E. Gaston of the Inter-City Dil and Gas Co. has made several trips out to their holdings west of the city this week, showing prospect- ity investors over their holdings The meeting this week have caused winners to right about and change their course of going. A few more dollars were added to the daily Sunday, bringing it up to about $2,615.00. While this is a period of conservation it did not seem to have any effect on the Eagle at First A, M. E. The new $1,440 pews that were placed in the church last spring, are now as free from any claim, as they have always been free to everybody. The debt is paid. They are yours. Dr. Griffin is a tireless worker and his big heart and brain with that Christian confidence within him never fails to bring results. He simply does things. If the members desire to see a larger and brighter flame in their church for the bringing in of souls let one do their bit toward kindling the fire. "Some carry their burden of responsibility unwrapped. A large number communed Sunday at the close of the morning service. Sacrament will be administered the first Sunday in each month, outside of Quarterly meeting occasion. Dr. Griffin will have for his subject Sunday, "The Last Judgment; or the Dawn of the Retributive Era." It will take both morning and evening discussion for its completion. where the deep test is to be made. Since it has been learned that a deep test is assured, many citizens are becoming interested, and the promotors of the project are elated with the generous response to their call for stock subscriptions. Whether the deep test brings oil or gas makes little difference. Either will be of untold importance to this community, and our citizens can well afford to help the project along by subscribing liberally or the stock. The men behind the project seem to know what they are doing, and Kansas City may yet waken from her lethargy and discover that she is in the midst of a great oil and gas field.

Storage room for 500 care of bulk salt is provided, along with other equipment necessary for successful operation of a modern kalt plant.

MENT PARLIAMENT IS DISSOLVED. TODAYS MOVE MEANS ATTEMPT TO BRING ABOUT PEACE IN RUSSIA. London, Nov. 8.—A wireless dispatch from Petrograd says Premier Kerensky has been deposed and the Maximillists are in control. A declaration that the provisional government is no longer in existence was made by the committee of the soldiers' and workmen's delegates. It is the program of the Maximillists to sue for a separate peace with Germany. The het dispatch to come through told of Premier Kerenky's steps to put down, by force of arms any further move by the Maximalists. "The woman's battalion of death had sworn loyalty to the young premier and they had been assigned to guard the winer palace. They had taken up their station, with fixed bayonets and loaded rifles, according to the latest information. Kerenky placed officers of known loyalty on guard at all important points throughout the city. The foreign legations were all placed under guard. INDIAN SUMMER DAYS ARE HERE, SAYS CONNOR Old Man Weather seems to have forgotten to look at the calendar lately, for we are enjoying the balmiest, most delightful kind of October weather in late fall, when we are usually braving cold and blustery November days. This sort of weather, ld timers assert, is suggestive of the, mythical Indian summer. Although Easterners haven't the privilege of enjoying real Indian summer, the generally fair weather, weather officials announce, seems to be general. And very little rain has alien. During the last 24 hours there has been practically no rainfall east of the Rocky mountains. And another reason for thankfulness, we have a promise of continued fair weather, for a few days at least.

The new war taxes on passenger tickets, Pullman tickets, and freight shipments will mean a large amount of extra accounting work for the ticket agents of the Union Pacific System. According to the records of the Union Pacific for the calendar year 1916, there were 8,019,647 revenue passenger carried who paid all told for their transportation $19,781,230. On this basis an 8 per cent tax, which will have to be collected by the railroad and turned over to the government, will amount to $1,582,498, or an average of 19.7 cents per passenger. The total revenue collected by the Union Pacific for freight during the calendar year 1916 was $8,415,558. This covers both carload and less than carload traffic. The 3 per cent tax which is to be collected by the railroads and turned over to the government on this basis would amount to $2,442,475. This will mean that something between ten or twelve million separate items will have to be taken care of by Union Pacific employees in collecting this government tax, which on the basis of passenger and freight business during the year 1916 will amount to $4,024,973 to passengers and shippers. AVIATOR LOST IN THE CLOUDS KANSAS MAN IN CANADA FOL 'LOWED TRAIN FORTY MILES (Lawrence Journal-World.) Lost in the clouds for two hours at night was another thrilling experience which Sam Pickard, son of C. C. Pickard of this city, had last week while in his training work in the Royal Flying Corps of Toronto, Canada. The students fly regularly between seven and nine o'clock at night, but on last Friday Pickard found something the matter with his machine so that he could not read the instruments before him to tell his location. His experiences are best related in his own way: "Just night before last I got lost in the clouds. Had absolutely no sense of direction and it got dark and began to rain. I knew they would have flares out for me and finally I saw a light back a few miles. I dived down and saw a train. I was so tickled to get that little clue that I yelled for joy although no one could hear me. I kept circling around so that the train could keep up with me and in about forty miles a saw the lights of a city. I flew around a couple of times but didn't recerize the place. I had not been able to see my gasoline gauge for two hours and my engine was missing, shooting flames out, so I dived to the ground and could barely make out trees from pasture. By luck I made a perfect landing in a good field, tied my wings down and trousted over to a farm house to call the commanding officer. The men in camp were a tickled bunch. They had beard me go over about an hour after dark but they had to go through a let of red tape before putting out flares. When I flew home the next morning they about shook my arm off. "It was a fine experience and it gives a fellow a gang of confidence which is all one needs. Indications are that some of us will be sent to Texas soon. I hope I get to go for the weather's too bad for flying hero now." MYSTERY IN DEATH OF K. C. K. NEGRO BELIEVED FREDERICK BROWN WAS KILLED 'AND BODY PLACED IN COAL CAR The murdered negro, whose body was found in a Missouri Pacific coal car at Leavenworth early Sunday was identified yesterday as Frederick Brown of 449 Dewey avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. A sister made the identification, and the body was shipped to this city last night. No light was thrown on the man's death by his relative. She said that he failed to come home Sunday, and the family read of the sliding of the body here. She could advance no theory to account for her brother's death. Brown, who was 29 years old, left his home Saturday morning. The body was found lying in a coal car on a sliding at Leavenworth early Sunday morning. A bullet which entered the head on the left side caused his death, according to Thomas E. Harvey, coroner. The location of the wound shows that it was not well inflicted. It is believed that Brown was murdered in Kansas City and thrown in the car-in-order to hide the crime. He was dead for several hours before being found. THE ADVOCATE DELIVERED AT OUR DOOR EVERY WEEK ONLY Secrets of Health and Happiness Anti-Typhoid Vaccination a Safeguard All Should Have By DR. LEONARD KEENE HIRSHBERG A. B. M. A. M. D. (Johns Hopkins University) YOU are well, and you feel so good that you cannot think that you may be dead next month of typhoid fever. So you are indifferent even to this dangerous possibility. Yet it is not bravery or impetuosity which makes you ignore this great fact, but merely your usual American habit of "taking a chance" that you will not be the one in fifty which typhoid will strike down. Yet "one in fifty" is bound to catch one or two persons in your block! Why, then, do you "take a chance" that is not necessary when all you have to do to "take no chances" of succumbing to typhoid to is receive three doses of antityphoid vaccine, as all men of the navy and army do? It seems a futile, unthankful task to be done. Home Phone West 190 Bell Phone West 832 Wm. R. Smiley Successor to LOUIS ALGAIER Hay, Grain, Coal and Wood Hydrant Water Furnished for Cisterns Gesspools Cleaned 1717-1719 NORTH FIFTH STREET. Whooping cough continues prevalent among children, yet typhoid fever and whooping cough are preventable almost absolutely by means of vaccines. Why does the faertia of human nature stand in the way of complete extinction of such maladies? There are ready explanations at hand. Chief among these, perhaps, is the notion that if you "are not afraid of catching disease" it will leave you alone. As if typhoid bacillus in their mud dash upon the backs of dust specks and water drops are conscious of your silly bravado. Another motive also awaits a few persons who deny a truth by refusing to think about or believe it, and who answer the wonderful fact of antityphoid immunity with the shout of there is no such disease as typhoid fever, which attacks typhoid germs; and "the antityphoid vaccine is a virus inserted to poison your blood, make you sick and get rich at your expense." A Strange Reason. The overwhelming facts and vital statistics of armies, navies and health departments mean nothing to such cobwea weavers. Like the ostrich, they stick their heads in the sand and refuse to see the panther, which takes a toll each day from the flock. Dead ostrichs tell no tales, and those who do escape danger think there has been none, because they have not yet suffered. Yet there is one less ostrich each day. Unhappily, persons who deny the value of anti-typhoid prevention are like the ostrich. They are not mathematicians and fail to observe the loss of a number now and then. Since the panther or typhoid take only one or two out of a hundred, the remaining 38 make dozens of converts to their logic by say- "Over the Top" To God Remember ye, the answer made by Sparta's bravest son, in years agone, when told that the "arrows of the Persians darken the very sun, in their numbers? It was, "Good, then we shall fight in the shade." And so it was Saturday last, when the accursed Huns, in numbers untold, attacked the Sons of America, as they waited in their trenches for the day to commence. "The dawn's early light, gave proof of the fact that our flag was still there;"—and then a terrific barrage started. Sensless, murderous, useless, the unceasing shelling of our boys. Yet, carelessly, bravely, true to the traditions of their fathers, they went down a fighting. Three paid their debt to the world in full. Three gave their very all in the effort to aid President Wilson in guarding Old Old Glory. Three went "over the top" to God. And it is to them, we dedicate this story. There have been many crusades. America has entered in four. And all in the cause of Liberty, Justice and Democracy. But this crusade is greater than any before. It has a significance all its very own. It writes a message on pages of history in letters intelligent and full of blood. It is a crusade with the spirit of Washington and Lincoln leading on before. It is a crusade to answer the call of La Belle France, of Britania, of Italia, of Belgium's heroic women, of Servia's beaten children and of the bones of far Armenia, as they whiten on the Turkish desert. To you three that have gone, and to the countless thousands that will follow, remember that God is ever on the side of the Right. And America is Right. And Columbia will prove that RIGHT MAKES RIGHT and shall ever conquer over Might. We've struck our first blood blow. We will continue to strike, strike and strike until the world A.

(2) What causes noises in the joints? (3) What can I do for constipation? A- (1) Hyperacidity of the stomach is caused by such foods as peppers, fried foods, seasoning, condiments, soups and also by germs. Do not take cod liver oil for this. Whites of eggs are better. A diet should be enforced in-order to attain a cure. (2) There are many causes of cracking joints are torn ligaments, loose bits of fibre or frigures of the skin, probably loose particles of lime salts. You stand much and exercise little should revise their habits. On the other hand, if it has come suddenly in only one joint it is due to athletics or over-exertion and calls for rest or an operation. (3) You should arrange your diet so that plenty of fruits, vegetables, salads and tomatoes are in it. Oatmeal is a laxative to some people, but not to all. You should be aware of things that an awer for everybody. A fixed hour should be set each day for attention to the demands of the intestines. This is preferably immediately after breakfast and the evening meal. Massage of the abdomen in a circular motion 5 to 15 minutes, three times a day, is one of the best aids.

Ave. LITTLE WON'T RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF KANSAS IN 1918 REPRESENTATIVE PUTS HIS FOOT DOWN ON THE SUGGESTION WOUSED GO BACK TO CONGRESS EXITS, HEDGAN GO MORE, GOOD THERE THAN AS STATE'S EXECUTIVE Congressman Little put his foot down today on the suggestion of running for Governor. He said he preferred to run for Congress and pay his own expenses than to be a candidate for Governor and have his expenses provided for by generous friends. He said to the writer. "Of course it is very kind of my friends to suggest that I would make a good Governor, but I spent a year in that office and I have no ambition whatever in that direction. If the people of this District seem to feel that my work in Congress has been as successful as could be expected of a new member in his first term, I shall at the proper time become a candidate for a second term. The demands upon the Representatives in Congress now by the necessities of the Republic are such that I really raven't the time to consider my own political future. For the present my sole purpose is to serve the people of the Second District in the Congress of the United States to the best of my ability in order that our nation may come triumphant out of this tremendous conflict. "In the meantime my political fortunes will have to remain in the hands of my friends, if I have any in the district. "The events that have transpired in the six months in Congress in which I have participated, give one more experience than he would usually get in a full term, and I feel that I am much better prepared for the work now as a result of that experience. "If the Republicans should carry the next House and I should be a member, it is very probable that I would be" Chairman of the Committee on Claims, as I am now the second ranking Republican on that Committee and it is very likely that certain changes will be made that will give the Republican ahead of me a still better place. That, of course, would enable me to be much more useful. It just happened that I was able to take an active part in and be of some help in putting over the legislation that enabled us to have a sober army, the legislation that raised the pensions of the widows of the Civil and Spanish wars and come other, and I hope to continue to be useful along those lines." The clonel here waxed very emphatic, and with the manner that has made him famous throughout the state, he continued: "I cannot promise, however, to bring to pass any one thing more useful directly to our people at home than the amendment I secured to the River and Harbor bill putting this city on the Missouri river for all time I hope. If I am in Congress for twenty years I couldn't promise to accomplish anything more valuable to the city than that. Nor is it likely that I will be able to duplicate what I did for Will Trembley when I secured for him the first commission issued in this war directly by order of the President. A fellow only gets things like that done once in a lifetime, but of course I am going to try to maintain the same gait. "The position I took on the taxation of wealth, especially in favor of collecting as taxes all income any man should have over and above $100,000 a year during this war, is one that I shall hope to give much attention to hereafter, because the question of revenue is the principal one as far as our people are personally concerned. The big issue is between those who want to scatter the taxes around on poor people and men of average means and those of us who wish to put the taxes on great wealth which can pay the taxes without feeling it. "The high cost of living is tax enough on most of the people right now. A man who has an income of $100,000 coming to him ought to be happy to be able to pay the rest in his country. Only one-half of one per cent of orn people have been able to pay an income tax heretofore. Those people are not going to furnish many of the fighting men. The people will do the fighting and wealth should pay the taxes. If our people feel that that is a reasonable view, having made the first speech on the floor of Congress favoring such a measure, I would naturally like to stay in the revenue raising body in Congress until it is accomplished." J. J. P. Mrs. Edythe Edmonds, president of the Circle, resigned after serving one year and four months and Sister Marie Fleming Scott appointed to fill but the two months of the unexpired term. The sewing circle of the First Baptist church met with Sister Mamie Butler. Thirty-three ladies were out and a collection of $13.85 taken up. A very delightful lunch was served. They adjourned to meet with Mrs. Martha Bluest Wood. $300. TRADE BODIES BACK CONGRESS TRADE BODIES BACK CONGRESS SECURITY LEAGUE RESOLUTIONS SHOW A NATION-WIDE APPROVAL New York, Nov. 7.—Anti-coouraging relief in these days of charges of disloyalty and criticism of public officials is supplied by a statement by the National Security League today, which includes a resume of resolutions commendatory of the work of the Special War Congress, the President, the Cabinet, and the Council of National Defense passed by trade associations, Chambers of Commerce and other commercial bodies in all parts of the country. This action by non-partisan organizations, representing practically every branch of business in the United States, is being taken in response to their circulation by the Security League following the passage of a resolution along the same lines by its Managing Committee. The endorsement of the acts of the various agencies of the National Government toward the aggressive and efficient prosecution of the war, included in the Security League's resume, comes from Texas, North Dakota, Montana—practically every state in the Union.
